Emmons county newspaper details official county and city paper publisher B Streeter announces rates for display and local ads. Circulation spans south and north halves of the county. Advertising copy due Tuesday noon each week.
A long editorial from the Free Press denounces Lemke over state built home costs and post election payments, cites Spitzer-Rorick bond terms, and lauds S Sveinbjorn Johnson’s attorney general move. It claims rival papers misstate facts and argues the paper’s stance supports Johnson against league attacks.
The passage notes Mr. Richardson’s recent move after an election and his prior connection to the league dispute. It mentions him being a candidate for the supreme court last year and employed by Mr. Lemke on the case. A Melstone Montana paper notes Bert Thurston’s return to Oliver county journalism after a ban by the Nonpartisan League.
The new administration begins with several key appointments. Attorney General Johnson names Seth Richardson a leaguer in the grain case and assigns George Schafer of Watford City and Charles Simon of New England as assistants. W. B. DeNault of Jamestown heads the farm loan department, with Ex-Senator J. B. Davis tipped for the state bank examiner post. L. F. Crawford of Sentinel Butte becomes secretary to the Industrial Commission and editor Stewart of Wilton joins the board of pardons.
The Record man reports a flood of letters from parties seeking appointments under the new governor. He states he will help with information on prospective appointees but urges that political ethics be set aside to end a five year political struggle.
The Courier News portrays Judge Robinson as elusive and misunderstood, noting that in 1916 the league ridiculed his supreme court path while defenders argued the public misreads genius. The piece recalls the shell game analogy of offering choices to the crowd.
Washington report notes the tax revision bill became law as President Harding signed it at the Capitol during the closing minutes of the special session. An executive secretary attached to the measure within an hour after Senate acted, amid criticism of the swift passage.
The Senate approved the wartime tax bill by 39 to 29 after four hours of debate. Six Republicans voted against the report while Democrat Broussard supported it. The bill repeals excess profits taxes from January 1, 1922 and trims many levies including nuisance taxes and certain luxury items while preserving tobacco, liquor, theater taxes, and other duties. Changes include higher personal exemptions for heads of families and dependents, and new allowances for ministers and business travelers. Critics from both parties warned the bill remains discriminatory and would likely be amended in 1922.
